Dock Danny Ward's wages and use them to refund the travelling fans.

Notwithstanding our current injury situation the team that we fielded today was nowhere near fit for purpose at PL level. If this season's squad and performances don't represent a compelling argument for Rudkin's departure on the basis of the appalling off field management that he is responsible for then I don't know what will. I actually feel sorry for RvN regarding the task he has been set given the tools at his disposal.

Ipswich late winner 🤢

Knew I should have done my Christmas shopping this afternoon instead

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

[StanSP]

Glad that's over. 

[Tielemans63]

That should be the last game in a City shirt for Ward, JJ and Hamza. They're just garbage. Skipp no better.

[Mike Oxlong]

Maybe it's because we are so inept but I'm beginning to think this is the worst Leicester squad since the last days of the Holloway era

When was the last time we grounded out a result against a team we’re not expected/likely to get points from. I

[moore_94]

Absolutely pathetic performance, especially from the midfield pairing

 

A pair of defensive midfielders you would expect to be getting stuck in and there was 0 tackles won and just 2 interceptions (both by Skipp) by the pair of them

 

Then Ward coming on and being like a dear in headlights

 

Really shown Ruud just how poor our squad depth is and that he needs to be kicking Rudkin's door in to get new players in early in January

[Muzzy_no7]

Pathetic. 

[TheGoldenGod]

Ipswich just won. That's GoN gone before we play them. It goes from bad to worse!

If it's any consolation the whole of St James' Park just got Whamageddoned.

Wasn't there, didn't watch it, listening to the commentary I can't really remember Leicester being involved in the game at all. I'd hate to be about to undertake a long drive back from Newcastle after that.

[KingsX]

TBF you can’t lay everything about this defeat on Ward.  But we will NEVER be competitive in a match when he plays.

 

[RonnieTodger]

This day could not have gone any worse. 

[Nolucklcfc]

I’ve not seen enough from us this season to suggest we will stay up. We get battered every week, if not by score line then by chances. I just don’t think these lot are good enough at all.

I agree but it shouldn't have needed this performance to realise the squad needs improving. 

 

Choudhury, Faes, Justin, Ward, Mcateer not good enough at this level. 

 

The squad depth is scarily bad. 

[Shamomoa]

Awful! Especially with Ipswich winning, ward should be knowhere near the first team!
